Besides 1099's, what other tax forms will I deal with as a freelancer (in the US)?

Question

I'm just curious what other forms you need to deal with in the United States (Oregon for me) besides 1099's as a freelancer (sole proprietor). Thanks

Answer 1

It depends on how your freelance is configured.

For a sole proprietor taxes customarily involve:

• 1099s (If received, but not required)
• 1040 (not 1040EZ)
• schedule C (deductions/expenses)

And taxes are paid in quarterly payments based upon these forms.

There may be more forms required for an S-Corp or other formal organization formation (articles of organization, meeting minutes, etc).

An actual freelance business can be created in many different forms. Each will have it's unique requirements.
